Chapter 256 18. One step behind

Whether Meredith could understand it or not, the attackers would not slow down at all, and with the sound of approaching engines, Carl gave his last instructions before entering the battle.

"Get rid of them."

The data invasion ends and consciousness takes over the body.

"call"

As he exhaled slightly, time slowed down according to Karl's wishes.

During the slow time, Carl picked up the classic and walked out of the truck, and during this time, he was not the only one taking action.

Carl looked at the group of attackers who jumped off the approaching armored vehicles and rushed towards him wielding pop-up mantis knives, and raised his submachine gun.

The smart locking chip has been connected and the target has been aimed and confirmed.

The bullets in the classic style were spit out as Carl pulled the trigger. In the slow moment, even the tail flames of the bullets flying in the dust were so clear.

Carl dropped the classic.

Carl no longer needs to calibrate the bullet that has guided the target in the intelligent locking. The next weapon he needs to pick up is the blade.

A flying knife flew out of Carl's hand. In a slow moment, the attackers who were running over on the ground had grim expressions on their faces. The sharp blades of the mantis knives in their hands were already aimed at Carl's vital parts.

There were three people besieging Carl.

The sharp blades pierced Carl's kidneys and chest from both sides and the front. If Carl didn't want to be torn apart by six sharp blades under such an attack, he could only retreat.

But time is enough.

The three attackers still had fierce gazes on their faces, but the time that Sian Westin had given them had reached its limit.

Next, it's Carl's time.

"You guys are one step behind."

Carl stretched out his hands and grabbed two mantis knives. He used his left and right hands to move the mantis knives that were stabbing from two directions into the chest of the attacker on the opposite side. Then he continued to rush forward without blinking.

Time continued to flow, and in front of Carl, there was a mantis knife pointing straight at his chest.

There is no way to avoid it.

But as time passed, the flying knife had already flown right behind the person in front of Carl in mid-air, and the EMP interference it carried was activated.

The range is four meters.

And now the knife was exactly four meters behind the attacker.

Exactly.

Along with the electromagnetic pulse shock, the attacker in front of Carl lost consciousness almost instantly.

Mantis Blade and Sian Westin are enemies with such a classic combination. The prosthetic modifications on their bodies are destined to make it impossible for them to retain consciousness under electromagnetic pulses.

"Sleep peacefully."

Carl dodged the mantis blade sideways, opened his palm, and clenched his five fingers on the face of the attacker in front of him.

Hands raised.

"Crack." "Puff."

Along with the sound of two sharp blades piercing through his body, the sound of bones breaking came from Carl's palm. Kill three people.

"Crack, crackle, crackle."

The smart bullet locked onto the target, bypassed the front of the armored vehicle, penetrated into the car through the window where the attacker jumped out, and hit the driver. When Carl loosened his hand and put down the body, the armored vehicle without a driver began to lose control, and after twisting and moving in a strange forward trajectory, it brushed past Carl and hit the side of the heavy truck hard.

'Deal with one.'

There are five armored vehicles in total, and now, there are four left.

In the dust raised by the vehicle, Carl adjusted his helmet and then stepped into the smoke.

The dust raised by the bullets and vehicles was the perfect hiding place for him at this moment.

Walking through the hail of bullets, Carl was feeling thankful in his heart.

He was glad that he was wearing combat uniform, otherwise, in a place where the smoke and dust would linger for a long time, his clothes would probably be stained with a layer of mud color.

The military technology people and the wanderers have launched a counterattack. Facing the enemies rushing towards them, they still know how to fight. Although many of them were torn into pieces by the attackers' mantis knives at the moment of the battle, the guns in their hands still left bullet holes on several attackers.

In terms of numbers, even though the military technology and wanderers suffered losses, they still outnumbered the attackers. In close-range firefights, this personnel advantage made the death toll gradually approach.

The leader of the attackers watched his team members' life signals being interrupted one after another, and his teeth were clenched tightly under his helmet.

These people were all trained by him personally and could be considered his loyal subordinates. But today they had to compete with a group of unidentified freight personnel in the company. This was really a loss.

'Where is that hacker? He is the one who forced me to come here. Where is he?'

The leader of the attackers was not in a hurry to engage in close combat. His prosthetic eye scanned the battlefield left and right, trying to find the hacker he had to kill.

The hacker who could instantly break into their team's communications must be someone with professional equipment, and he might even be hiding somewhere controlling the equipment. The leader of the attackers didn't think that the other party could accomplish that level of hacking just by accessing the warehouse.

The hacker from his own team only lasted less than a second before being dealt with. At that moment, the hacker even had time to hack into other members of his team. That kind of ability can only be achieved with a complete set of hacking equipment.

In this kind of battlefield, there is a place where you can put down a complete set of hacking equipment.
The leader of the attackers targeted the only armored vehicle that did not belong to their side.

The armored vehicle was parked next to the truck, and because of the fear of accidentally damaging the truck, it had not been taken care of by the attacker's sniper, so in theory, it was possible for one person to lie down safely in it.

If the hacker was lying in the armored vehicle and hacking into the equipment, it would seem to explain why he had not seen any figure that looked like a hacker in such a chaotic situation.

Are you hiding here?

The leader of the attackers activated the Swanwestin, rushed to the armored vehicle and raised his right hand.

In the right hand, a strange-looking mantis knife popped out. This mantis knife was not like the ordinary mantis knife, which was shaped like a sharp blade. Instead, from the appearance, the blade was covered with serrations. As the leader of the attackers controlled it, the serrated blade of the mantis knife began to rotate.

It was as if a chainsaw popped out from his arm. The leader of the attackers had a grim expression under his helmet and swung his right hand.

Under the serrated blade, the iron plate of the armored vehicle was torn open easily, just like butter being cut by a hot knife. The attacker wanted to stab forward and stab the mantis knife directly into the body of the vehicle, but found that there was no one in the armored vehicle.

not here!

The attacker's leader's pupils shrank, and behind him, barely perceptible footsteps were heard.

"One more solution."

All night it hit the back of the helmet.

"Bah."
